Every time the word “far right” is attatched to LePen, I hope that much more that she wins

Amazing how the radical left just keeps making the same mistake OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

The same thing has been happening here. Voters will put a stop to it there, the same way we did here. If not now, then soon. And it isn’t just us and Europe, it’s the entire west, including Australia. Well, maybe not South America, but that’s a whole other story.

SOME writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins. Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness; the former promotes our happiness POSITIVELY by uniting our affections, the latter NEGATIVELY by restraining our vices. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first is a patron, the last a punisher.

Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil - Thomas Paine, Common Sense (1776)

The “writers” who confound society with government are today’s socialists.

Journalists in general (who knowingly focus on the negative, yet claim to be objective) are cynical. They are cynical about society, and, concommitantly, naive about the ability of government to improve society.

Fillon has been hit with some kind of scandal, probably manufactured BS.

That has given an opening to libtard Emmanuel Macron, not from the Socialist Party but from splinter party founded by himself, slightly to the right of the socialists which isn’t saying much.

The latest poll has him edging Fillon and making the runoff v. LePen.

That is TERRIBLE news. Polls show either would crush LePen in the runoff. (and no neither Trump nor Brexit ever trailed by 30 points as she does to Macron in the latest runoff poll)

I have qualms about LePen and would likely back Fillion, but I’d have no choice but to strongly support her over a libtard like Macron.
